Brassington was part of Ashbourne North District along with Longnor, Dove Valley, Parwich, and Hulland. There is only Brassington left now,and we are part of Ashbourne District. However, we have now started 1st Brassington Guides, which has 23 Guides from all over the area.

There is a memory in the village of Brownies or Guides having existed earlier in the 20th Century, but we have no records of this.
